        Quick Start</h1>
    <p>
        This guide assumes that you have just started up Mews for the very first time (all
        settings are unchanged from their defaults).</p>
    <p>
        <strong>Warning</strong>: When executed for the first time, either of the following
        procedures will receive roughly 500 kilobytes of data, so you best do this when
        you don't pay for network traffic by volume.</p>
    <h2>
        Receiving Articles</h2>
    <ol>
        <li>Make sure your device is either already connected to the internet or is capable
            to do so. If in doubt, start Internet Explorer Mobile and try to surf to one of
            your favorite sites.</li>
        <li>In the Mews main window, tap <strong>Menu</strong>, <strong>Go To</strong>, <strong>
            Mozilla Test</strong>. The screen remains blank, since no articles have been received
            yet.</li>
        <li>Tap <strong>Menu</strong>, <strong>Send/Receive</strong>, <strong>Full</strong>,
            <strong>Group</strong>. This starts a background article send/receive operation.
            You can see the progress in the status bar.</li>
        <li>As soon as send/receive has finished, the screen refreshes and the articles are
            shown in the main window.</li>
        <li>Articles are arranged in trees that can be expanded and collapsed by tapping on
            the +/- signs.</li>
        <li>To read an article, tap it. This opens up a new dialog, tapping <strong>ok</strong>
            brings you back to the main window.</li>
